I have worked with Alex Hopkirk for a number of years and he has never failed to impress me. His work ethic is second to none and he has a knack for identifying fantastic talent. In addition, he's very easy to work with and thoroughly professional. I would unreservedly recommend him to both candidates and companies.

James Gillespie

Forklift Engineer - Solution MHE

Candidate

Having searched for a new job for a few months Alexander James' website popped up and within a week they'd introduced me to a couple of companies looking to recruit, one of which have now employed me. Even in these difficult times Alex worked hard to find me a new job and I’d recommend his company to anyone looking to move forward in their career.

I want to start off and give a BIG Thank you to Alex for his dedication and commitment in assisting me to find my dream career place of work and having the patients with all the ups and downs with interviews. I can most definitely recommend Alex, to have full faith in him and trust his judgement when you are placed forward for an interview. I have dealt with Alex since last year 2019 being in SA before I came to the UK we had begun our search for me. In September 2020 I landed and December 2020 I have been successful and was offered my dream Job and my dream Career. Alex puts in all the effort and time, just be patient and it will happen for you. Thank you Alex you are remarkable at what you do.

Gawie Van Nierkerk

Head of Contracts - Quickline Storage

Candidate

This year I had decided to change my career path and Alexander James Recruiting gave me a call in regards to my current position. They called very regularly making sure I was okay during the interview process both before and after. Within two weeks I had a new role from the first point of contact to an offer of employment. Even now they regularly check up on me to make sure I have settled in and am enjoying my new role. Probably the best recruiter I have had dealings with. 10/10.
